GoldenBoy, I hope you learned the value of patience from your Cumberland Resources experience (ouch) - hand in there buddy. Remember the value of the property remains unchanged. There is no way that a permit will not eventually be granted given the huge potential of what's on the Tesoro. It's also in the best interests of the Peruvian gov't to grant the permit because it's eventual money in their pocket. I agree someone somewhere dropped the ball but it is what it is.
